@Jan: in the document linked by Paul (http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/148) they start by saying "The scope of this document is limited to 1-Wire networks that use Category 5, twisted-pair copper wire and have 5V bus power supplied by the master" So i guessed that this was

@Paul: Yes i had read that website some time ago. It made me change (then) from (mixed) star topology to my current (linear) bus. to accomodate this i followed the suggestions of the list members and used the utp-wires 4and5 for the dépard and wires 3and6 for the return. I did not try another chann

I have a plugin board running on top of my pi containing a DS2482-800 and an 2482-100 master. Both are connected through I2C. The DS18b20's that are connected are connected in bus layout and are powered (not parasite) Everything was running fine, but when i tried to add a couple of sensors i run in

As suggested in an earlier thread, i changed my setup from a tree, to a bus. To make it myself easier, i bought a 9bus board from pridopia (1 DS2482-100 and a DS2482-800) I am not using the DS2482-100, but the first 5 channels from the DS2482-800. All the sensors are connectes as a bus Everything w

I am mesuring on a copper tube (sensor attached with tie wraps so the flat side makes a good connection). The temps i am measuring are between 12 and 22 °C. The tube and the sensor are insulted with tube insulation (its on my heat pump). (ambient temp is 25°C) The 2 sensors are +-10cm apart so they

I have several DS18x20 sensors in my network, some DS18S20 (the first 12) and some DS18B20 (some more added later). Since i was unsure about some reading of some DS18S20 sensors i used a second DS18B20 on the same spot... That reading was about 2°C higher than the DS18S20... i moved it about and i
